Power, V.-P.(giving the judgment of the Court):

This applicant was charged with trafficking in a dangerous drug. He was stopped in a routine stop and search operation when the drugs were found on his person. That was the Crown evidence. He suggested at trial and still suggests that the majority of the drugs were planted upon him by the police. The trial judge had no hesitation in rejecting his evidence and accepting that of police officers. The applicant in his appeal does no more in effect than say that the trial judge was wrong to do so. The assessment of the evidence at the trial was a matter for the trial judge and nothing has been said that would raise any ground for us interfering with his decision in that regard. The application must be dismissed.

Representation:

Ms. Lily Ho (Crown Prosecutor) for the Respondent.

Applicant in person.
